A BIRMINGHAM schoolboy with a brain tumour named ‘Britain’s Kindest Kid’ has had his bravery recognised by a leading cancer charity.

Nine-year-old Harry Moseley, from Sheldon, has devoted himself to helping combat cancer despite undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy since he was diagnosed in 2007.

After raising £22,000 in just six months towards research through his own bracelet-making business with schools, Harry has been put forward for the ‘Little Star’ Cancer Research UK award. Harry, a pupil of Blakenhale Junior School, who has a brother Louie, aged 12, and sister Danielle, 15, was nominated by mum Georgina.

The mum, who gave up her job as a sales manager to become a full-time carer, described Harry as a “kind, caring and inspirational little boy with or without living with cancer”.

Georgina, aged 35, married to Darren, 37, said: “Despite everything he has been through he always has a smile on his face. He is a selfless boy and gets upset to see other people go through what he has.”

Harry started making bracelets and selling them for £1 each when a friend, 55-year-old businessman Robert Harley, died from the same illness. The enterprising youngster even sent 70 bracelets to Gordon Brown and asked him if his staff would sell them around Downing Street and received a cheque for £220. Harry said of his bracelets scheme: “I enjoy doing it, but I want to do it so schools can help me to raise money.” He was then voted the Kindest Kid in Britain.
